The Goodness of the Prophet's Companionship
One finds multiple reports of the good companionship of the Prophet his excellent manners and cheerfulness to all peoples. Ali described him as being the most generous and truthful of people as well as being the most lenient.
Allah says, "It was by that Mercy of Allah that you dealt so leniently with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have surely deserted you." (3:159) and, "Good and evil deeds are not equal. Repel with that which is most just and see, the one whom there is enmity between you will be as if he were a loyal guide" (41:34).
The Prophet never refused and invitation and accepted a gift even it if was as little as a sheep's foot, and he would in return reward its giver by supplicating for him.
Anas served the Messenger of Allah for ten years and during that time he never said "Huh" to him nor did he ask, "Why did you do it?" or, "Why didn't you do it?"
Jabir Abdullah's son said of the Prophet "Ever since I became a Muslim, the Messenger of Allah never distanced himself from me and whenever he saw me he would smile."
The Prophet would mix and joke with his Companions and play with their children. He allowed them to enter and sit in his room and accepted the invitation of a free person, those in servitude and the very poor. He would visit the sick even those on the outskirts of the City and accept the excuse of anyone who offered an excuse.
Anas said, "Whenever someone spoke in the ear of the Prophet he would never move his head away until the person moved his, and when anyone shook his hand, he was never the first to let go. When he met someone he was always the first to greet them, likewise he shook the hands of his Companions first. Whenever someone visited him the visitor was treated with honor. Many were the times he would spread out his robe or offer the cushion he was sitting on to someone, and, if the person declined, he would insist upon his visitor acceptance of the invitation. It was his nature to give preference to the needs of others to that of his own. To his Companions he gave endearing names, and honored them by calling them by the best of their names.
Abdullah, the son of Harith said, "I have never seen a more smiling person than the Messenger of Allah ."
